Innocent Laughter medicines

My 3 yr old princess ordered before going to school that she wants her hair to be combed into 2 ponies to which I agreed instantly but was surprised as I had earlier tried it & she had been very firm with her “NO”. Anyways I was more than happy to make her ponies as one of the reason I wanted a girl was that we can dress them up & literally adorn them into different styles.
In the afternoon when I went to pick her up she was very happy & on the way back home she blushingly told me that she went & showed her new hairstyle to her friend ( a boy -of course) and he said “Aanya Soni Soni”( very beautiful). As usual I shared it with my husband & we enjoyed our evening tea with a crispy laugh. But that was not it next day morning the order was again repeated & this time she made the reason clear, I will go & show it to J & he will again say Aanya looking very nice.
There are so many of her cute & innocent saying which really make my day, even if for a short span, I forget all my tensions. I want to record all of these innocent humor so that when my kids grow up & are busy in their lives I will have these lovely laughter medicines. Almost every hour she produces one of her unique laughter remedies which are indeed so valuable to me.
Just today morning while I was taking her to school there was cow dung on the side of the road, (if you have been to India, you know its common here). My daughter observed it & said-”Mom look there is potty on road, this is not the place to do it, potty should be done at home, don’t they know this mama- outside home we go to school, we go for shopping not potty.”
Just yesterday my 8 yr old son was telling me, mom I & friend (but ofcourse a girl) wished how gud it would be if we are together in our college also.
Kids nowdays are so sharp & observant. Going back in our times we didn’t have this kind of thinking even when we were in our teens . Compared to today’s generation I think I was real dumbo.

The Halloween party

I know this post on Halloween is a bit delayed but better late than never so here it is. Come Oct31 & my son who is 8 yr old seemed to be more enthu about it than Diwali or any other festival. I mean 2 months before he was ready with his mask & sword & the final countdown began when it was 10 days to go & finally when the day came he was all set. equally enthu about it was I ( at least had to show him that) I painted him in black & red colors with his mask on. A big discussion went on as to which dress to wear. Finally zeroed on a all black one. My 3 yr old did not want to be left so even if she stayed at home she got herself painted as well. At last all ready he went for his trick or treat. Had a showdown with his group of friends but the gud part was that the fight didn’t pull him back. My confident boy was out alone with his trick or treat from door to door. When he came at our door he was like you can give whatever you want but because you are my mom I would be really happy if you could treat me with a can of cold drink. So his emotional mom story did work & he got his drink. He came back at 10 in the night with his bag full of goodies, happy & satisfied with his earnings & equally proud was I as he came to me & handed a big tobulerene from his bag to me saying mom this is for you. His sister caught him on the doorway & she let him in only when he gave her, her quota of hafta. The shine in his eyes of achieving something big, his bag full of hardwork. He is not even eating it just keeping next to his pillow & has almost daily fights over it with his sister.
